What is their real purpose is to filter out candidates who are not agreeable enough to just shut up and take the test?

Not necessarily. Myers-Brigg's has done a great job of convincing corporate America that their test results mean something (and any personality test you may be given by your employer is probably Myers-Brigg's or some close facsimile thereof).

They are barely-better-than-horoscopes-junk-science... but people genuinely believe in the stuff.

More of a side note, but I've noticed a very recent trend on a dating app of profiles including their Meyers-brigg info.

Meyers Briggs is complete trash, I could easily get any result I wanted to. And at the end of the day it doesn't give any useful insight.

Then that company has an incredibly broken interview process and is going to miss out on quality talent. And if that is a filtering tactic it's probably a shitty company to work for.
